OOglies is a stop-motion animated children's television series produced by BBC Scotland for CBBC. The show involves short humorous sketches with household items and food, virtually all of which have googly eyes stuck on, hence the show's title.

The show first aired on 10 August 2009 on both CBBC and BBC HD. The commission was for two series of 13 shows, each 15 minutes long. The shows were produced in a block over five months in Glasgow. Voices are provided by Tim Dann, Peter Dickson and Shelley Longworth. The series was created and written ("set free") by Nick Hopkin, Tim Dann and Austin Low. The show returned in 2015 as OOglies Funsize.

Recurring gags

There are groups of characters who appear with similar gags multiple times, and sometimes the characters meet each other. Episodes begin with a mock safety announcement: "Attention all humans. The stunts you are about to witness have been performed by trained OOglies. Under no circumstances should children or silly adults attempt to do any of the actions you see in the programme."

Funsize

After each episode of the first two series is an internet reminder about the CBBC website: "Keep your eyes peeled for more OOglies, at bbc.co.uk/cbbc."
